Wednesday Recipe - Potato Wedges

Hello my hungry readers. Lately we have been addicted to and craving potato wedges so I put about a cup of canola oil in a small iron skillet, heated it up. I cut up a potato to our desired size of wedges and when the oil was hot enough (dip the potato in the oil and if it starts to bubble its ready), I just dropped (carefully!) the wedges in. I let them cook about 3-4 minutes on each side until brown, then I put them on a plate with a paper towel to catch some extra grease. When they have cooled a little bit I put salt and pepper on them. They are delicious and we have had them for breakfast, lunch or with dinner or a snack. 

Hope you love these yummy treats as much as we do. Loves.

DIY - Candle Covers

Hello wonderful readers. So I thought I would share another DIY I did for Valentine's Day but I think I will use them all year because they are so cute. I just had some pillar candles hanging around so I decided to get some of my fabric I had around with hearts on it and make a cover for each candle that covers about 3/4 of the candle. I honestly just eye balled the amount of fabric I needed and just made sure it was even. I also eyeballed the the heart I put on the front of the big candle. I put some buttons on the heart and wrapped the heart around the cover with burlap twine. On the small candle I eyeballed the fabric and made sure it was even and just sewed a little jewel button on the front of it. 
Hope you love these cute little heart candle covers as much as I do. Loves.

Verse of the Week

Hello my wonderful readers. Today's verse of the week is Proverbs 2:6 "For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." Today's verse is on how you speak around others. You should try to pray everyday for good words out of your mouth. We are only human so we are going to slip with bad words in general or to others every once in awhile but if you pray for God to give you good words in your mouth you will be better off because he will use you to speak knowledge and understanding to others. Loves.

Makeup Look :-)

Hello my wonderful readers. I thought I would share a makeup look with you today for my Monday post. I used my Naked 3 palette and Naked Basics palette to do this look, plus my Maybelline Master Precise liquid eye liner pen. 
So to start out I used e.l.f. eyeshadow primer on my eye lids and Maybelline Eraser for under eye dark circles under my eyes, I blended those in. Then I used Mugshot from the Naked 3 palette on my eye lids and then blended Dust from Naked 3 over it and above the eye lid. I then put my liquid black eye liner on my upper lid. To brighten my eyes up a little I used Venus from the Naked Basics palette on my inner eyes. Then I used black Maybelline The Rocket on my eyelashes. 
I hope you like this look. Loves.
